More 360 parts- this time the front and rear dampers.









Again the original plastic kit parts were used as a pattern, and the new parts were made as a direct replacement for the originals. Fortunately the dampers on this kit are non-structural, so they hold no weight. They could certainy be made to be weightbearing, but it's a bit easier not to.

Everything was made from 1/4" aluminum rod- the shock bodies turned on the lathe, and the mounting blocks were cut using miniature end mills.
